For the past 24 years, the Santa Barbara Police Activities League has been able to assist families in receiving something special for the holiday season. This wonderful tradition supports the most at-need families in our community.
Help us make a difference this holiday season!
Adopt-A-Family is an opportunity for individuals, teams, companies and organizations to reach out and lift up those in need, either through direct adoption or financial contribution. Your gift, large or small, makes a difference!
Families are identified and referred through partnering community agencies, and come in all sizes! You choose the family size that works best for your budget, and with your help we will ensure they get a holiday to remember.
When you adopt a family we ask that you provide one age appropriate, unwrapped gift for each child, with a suggested retail price of $30. Gift cards are also welcome for older children (14-17).
Please Note: Some donors provide more and many include something for the adults, but this is not required.
Winter Wonderland is a fun-filled event exclusively for Adopt-A-Family recipients!
Our 2024 event featured the following highlights:
Over 80 gifts distributed!
40 families supported and celebrated with love.
150+ attendees shared in the holiday spirit together.
Countless hours of gift wrapping by incredible volunteers—thank you for your dedication!
Generous community members fulfilled children’s wishlists.
9 years strong—El Pastorcito Taqueria delighted us with their traditional, delicious catering.
Snowman fun led by Lobster Jo, bringing laughter and joy.
Our Youth Leadership Council and UCSB ROTC were behind the event's success.
Help make this year even more impactful by becoming a Winter Wonderland sponsor, or by sponsoring a local family this year!
